Visited the hotel with a group and found the accommodation very good despite the mattress on my double bed being a little too soft for my liking and my single room having a lovely view of the fire escape plus one of the curtains was hanging off the rail for the whole time. Tea, coffee and biscuits replenished daily. The... More

We were in room 5 and as the other reviews say this room is lovely. It is big, tastefully decorated and I did enjoy the free standing bath which filled up quickly with hot water. Anyone with mobility difficulties would however never have climbed into it as it was on a raised plinth. There is a shower head but this... More

When we arrived we drove up a beautiful drive and thought wow this looks great! On arriving at reception we were cross questioned regarding our booking (I had paid in advance, for an executive double, pre-paid breakfast and a dog supplement through Akkeron hotels central booking service). Basically, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. The... More

Stayed for a two day pre-weekend trip and loved it. Huge room, free-standing bath, lots of hot water, comfortable beds - very relaxing! The room was full of period features and was clean and warm. It isn't particularly modern - small tv, no Sky etc., but perfect for a relaxing weekend. Free wifi that actually worked too! We ate in... More
